Antique Bobbin Hourglass Kit

New! Quick Overview:

• Made from recycled industrial artifacts from the World War II era
• Bobbin pieces from United Kingdom
• Hand-blown glass

The timer is composed of antique wood spools found in abandoned textile mills in England. The spindles and wooden base were used from 1939-1945 during World War II in a factory in Barrowford Mill, Nelson. This bobbin sand timer has a ribbed edge and pewter accents. A vintage thread spool sticker is placed on the base to give it even more character.

As with all antique and hand-made items, the colors and decorations vary slightly. We consider this to be a special part of their history and character. Ready for you to add your own sand!
